I just thought this would be interesting to see how different our bodies really is.

I am 5'5 started at 233lbs almost size 22.

I am still 5'5 (dang ) 208lbs and currently 16's are starting to fit.

My goal is 150 or size 8 ish. Whatever comes first.

I replyed twice now, thats how great you are all at relating the procedure and the rewards to me on a daily walk basis. I am so happy to see your all doing it. It seemed so drastic, I was scared.

I am 5'1" and weight DOS was 232. I was wearing a size 2x in tops and a 20/22 in pants. I am large chested and I hope to not lose much of those but am willing to buy some new ones if that is the price I must pay. LOL!!. I am hoping to get down to 130 ultimately and below 180 by May. My 30th birthday is May 23rd and I am hoping for some massive weight loss by then! 4 days postop and I haven't weighed yet. I will on day 7.

I use to be 5’9 but when I was weighed and measured pre-op I was 5’7. My highest was 303 and I was a 24-22, I am currently in a 20 women’s jeans that are a bit baggy I have a goal pair of jeans that are a regular 20 (Gap) with no stretch that I want to get in next month. My tops were 2 and 3X but I am now in xl. I currently only weigh in with my doctor, there are too many things that I need to focus on outside of the scale for now, but the last time I weighed in I was 260.

At surgery I was 302 lbs, 5' 7.5" wearing size 24 and 2X tops. I am almost 5 months out and I currently weigh 232 lbs and am wearing loose 20s, tight 18s and XL tops from the normal section. My pant sizes are going down slowly. I've had two vertical c-sections in the past 5 years and I have quite the "spare tire". When I measured that presurgery the tape measure was too short. I was about 63" at the hips. Now my hips are 53".... so I am steadily working toward those smaller sizes. Can't wait!

Started:

4/28/2010

4'11"

207 lbs

Size: 18

Now:

1/30/2012

4'11"

108 lbs (as of this morning)

Size: 0/2

Yay. Maintained this weight for the last 9 months

I am 5'8 and started my journey at 303 wearing a size 42 pants and 3xl shirts, on my surgery date june 21, 2011 i was 273 wearing a size 40 pants and 2xl shirts. Now i am at 181lbs wear a size 34 pants prob could do a 32 but my 34s are comfy and i wear a size L shirt for the most part some size med depending on the shirt

I am 55 and I started at 254, in a size 22. Three months of pre-op diet later, I weighed 222 and was comfy in my size 18 pants. By the time I could comfortably wear jeans again, I was in a 16. Now, 8 1/2 months out, my size 8/10s are too big but I'm waiting a little to get a smaller size because new jeans are goal reward for me.

I took my measurements the other day and they are 39(hips) 29, 35. At my current weight when I was younger, my hips were bigger and waist and bust was smaller. I am also 3/4" shorter than I was in my 20s.

Body shapes are so different! I expect to wear a 6/8 at goal weight of 135.

Go girl! Ye Haaa, Now thats what Im talking about, not only do I need to get my surgery bag started, but now Im looking at single men with big trucks! Looking to be involved in a mans life and road hogging all next summer. I feel I have been in a coma for the last 6 years. Im ready to be awakened. Your a great inspiration, keep it up!

At my heaviest I was in a 22-24 bottoms and 2x top bra size 42D

Today I am wearing size 12 bottoms and a large top and 38B

woo hoo! Clothes are so cute now. no more Lane Bryant for this girl.

I am

5'10"

I currently weigh 196...doctor's scale said 193 . I wear a 12 top. I could not fit in 14 express jeans and lane Bryant 14 is too big for me now. So I really do not know. I fit in 12 dresses. 14 is too big. I need to buy long jeans and the 14's I tried on were regulars so maybe that is why they don't fit? I am still in a shopping funk and do not like the mall. I am still intimidated by the non fat girl stores. I also can feel my hip bone right under my skin so I am not 100% sure if my hips would ever let me get into a size 8.

I am 56 and 5'3". Prior to surgery I weighed 268 and wore size 24/26 and size 3X tops.

I was sleeved on December 9, and today I weigh 232. My clothing size hasn't changed much, though. Certainly, the clothes I have are baggier than they were before, but I tend to carry most of my weight in my stomach, and that doesn't seem to have shrunk much at all (maybe I still have some swelling? I hope?). I do see changes in my face, arms, legs.

I can't imagine I would ever get down to a size 8; I would be thrilled at a size 12.

I am 32 5' 1.5" day of surgery I was 228 - size 20/22 pants 2x top

today - 7 months later - 1 weigh 162 - size 12 pants m/l tops ...

My surgery is the 8th, I am 37. I am 5' 7 1/2", and I weigh 242. I wear mostly 20's and xxl tops 'cause I don't have very big boobs! Hope what I do have doesn't go away... I've never been under a size 16, so anything under that would be thrilling!

At preop I was 285 & size 24 bottoms/ 2x tops. At 8 1/2 months out I weigh 172 this am & size 12 jeans/ 10 in work slacks & a Medium in tops. I have a looot of baggy skin though. I'm 5'6 - goal weight 150?

Hi everyone! I am 5'6 and my highest weight last year when I started this journey was 272. I wire a tight Lane Bryant 22w pants and 22/24 top. Day of surgery, 8/8/11, I was 263. No change in clothing size. Today I weigh 189 and I've been wearing some 14s and some 16s in jeans and dress pants. I can comfortably wear a Large top. I no longer shop at Lane Bryant because their clothes just don't flatter me anymore. I'm extremely happy with my weight loss but plan to lose at least 20 more pounds, maybe 30. I just hope and pray I can stay motivated.
